I have decided to do a little test here by eliminating the NoFollow attribute on comments using the Lucia’s Linky Love plugin. I am hoping this will bring more people to the blog and foster some more discussion

Another potential benefit to eliminating the NoFollow on comments is increased linking to the site and will increase the PageRank of Shaun Carter dot Com, which took a bit of a hit down to a PR of 2 during the last update.

Hopefully there won’t be much spam that gets through the Akismet filter. So far traffic is the same around here, but I’m sure once the blog makes it in some DoFollow lists things will pick up. As long as you see the U Comment, I Follow badge on the sidebar you have an opportunity to get link juice from ShaunCarter.com!
